Question
Chapter 25, Problem 8PS
Interpretation Introduction
INTERPRETATION:
The description for the use f half life for the nuclear decay should be determined.
CONCEPT INTRODUCTION:
Radioactive decay:
A nucleus undergoes disintegration in-order to become stable by emitting radiations such as alpha, beta and gamma particles.
Radioactive series:
The series in which successive disintegration of unstable nuclei is formed until a stable nucleus is formed.
Half life:
The time used for the decay of the half of the radioactive isotope to undergo decay.
